Sanitary NeasureS-ia-c Of the
Teeth.


IA Hc Idit0r OJ the Dispatch:
The loss and decay of the teeth is so
common among the people Of this
country, and productive OF 50 much
disease and suffering, as to render it
apparent that more care and attention
Should be paid to their preservation.
They perform a very important duty III
the animal economy-that of masti-
eating the food and preparing ii for the
stomach. When they are lost or in
iured by decay the food reaches the
stomach without due preparation, and
indigo stion and a long train OF attend
ant evils are the result.
Various reasons have been assigned
for the decay OF teeth, which Is so
prevalent that there is scarcely an in
diyidual to be found who has not need
ed tie aid of a dentist to repair his
molars. DR.. Ephraim Cutter, promi-
nent physician of New York, wrote,
some years since, an elaborate aud ex-
haustiye article on Brown Bread, in
which be asserted that the Use of the
finest and whitest flour. from which
the phosphatcs have been removed III
the bran, was a prominent cause of the
decay of the teeth. There Is doubtless
good ground for this assertion.
Any impairment of the general
health, particularly of the digestive or
eans, affects the teeth injuriously. 30
do strong acids, the injudiclous use OF
the preparations of mercury, and ex-
tremes of heat or cold in substances
taken into the mouth.
Candy and sweets, which are popu-
lsrly supposed to affect the teeth inlu-
riously, only do SO when used to ex-
cess so as to impair the general health.
In moderation, and with proper re-
strictions, they are valuable adju 1cts
to our dietary, and supply a want IN
the system which is clearly eyinced by
the general desire for them.
Care should be taken 10 brush the
teeth daily so as to cleanse them oil
Particles of food. They should be
frequently examined by a competent
denuist, so that their decay may be ar
rested before il is too late do so.
